Sing it out...

[wall_flower]

Who: Marley Rose (wall_flower) and YOU
What: It's time for a Karaoke Party with a hidden motive.
When: 8.28.13
Where: Karaoke Bar (or whatever it's called)



Marley had finally made up her mind. She was finally going to tell Donatello how she felt about him (despite that little hiccup at the beginning of the week), but she knew she would just fumble over her words if she just...tried to tell him outright. That was why she called for the karaoke party, after all. She had learned in the Glee Club that if you had a hard time getting your feelings out any other way, then sing them. It had always worked before, so why should now be any different?

The karaoke bar seemed like the perfect place for her actually getting how she felt out in the open. However, she couldn't let Donnie get suspicious of her plans. What better way to hide her scheme than by making it a party for everyone?! No one else knew what she was doing (except for Hawkmon, of course), and it just made things even easier to hide from Donatello. Really, everyone seemed on board with the idea, so why not?!

She and Hawkmon had made sure there would be plenty of food (pizza, specifically, but all kinds of other things as well), and drinks most definitely! The Damemon were fantastic in how much and how fast they had managed to put everything together, and it just made Marley even more excited about having everyone together. But the closer the time came for everyone to arrive, the more nervous she became. All the what if's and maybes floated around in her mind as she went over everything again and again and again. Things didn't have to be perfect, but she didn't need a disaster to happen.

As the first few people began to appear, Marley somehow managed to settle her nerves enough to pass at being just happy to see people show up. How long it'd last during the night, well...only time would tell...

[The smile on Maya's face gets even bigger (if that's possible) when Cam holds the microphone with her. This is the Cam she wishes everyone knew, because to her it's the real Cam. The Cam she fell in love with. He's amazing when he's like this, and that's the real reason she'd still like him even if everyone else didn't. There really isn't a whole lot that would make Maya hate Cam, and somehow she doesn't think he'll become a mass-murderer. Lost in her thoughts, Maya almost misses her cue to start singing.]

I'm gonna paint you by numbers,
and color you in.
If things go right we can frame it and put you on a wall.

[She's radiant. She's literally radiant, and Cam tries his best to harmonize with her, on the second lines of her part of the verse, to help her shine brighter. He's not really good at harmonizing, but he's listened to her enough to pick a few things up.]

And it's so hard to say it but I've been here before.

[...And Cam can't resist, he sings a little falsetto.]

Now I'll surrender up my heart
And swap it for yours.

[Cam seems to be getting more into it, and Maya honestly can't stop smiling, even when she's adding her voice to his. Sometimes, Maya thinks that maybe she should just make Cam sing all the time. He probably wouldn't go for it, but in Maya's daydream fantasy world, Cam would totally agree to be in a band with her and they could rock out and charm the whole world.

It's possible that dreaming big runs in the Matlin family. Maya's tend to be a little more fantastical than Katie's, though. Well, and most of them aren't actually expects to happen - but it would be really cool if Ed Sheerhan did collaborate with her some day.]

I'm out of touch, I'm out of love.
I'll pick you up when you're getting down,
and out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now.
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind.
I'll do it all for you in time,
and out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now.

[After the chorus, Maya squeezes Cam's hand as she sings the next lines.]

Don't hold me down,
I think my braces are breaking, and it's more than I can take.

[headup_stickontheice]

[Yeah, he's definitely just absorbed in the song, the moment, in her, and when she squeezes his hand the only thing that keeps him from kissing her right there is that singing with her feels so good.]

It's dark in a cold December, but I've got you to keep me warm.
And if you're broke, I'll mend ya
and I'll keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on.

[He loves her. He loves her, he loves her, he doesn't know a lot about relationships, but if this isn't what he's feeling, he's more lost on it all than he realized, because this, this is it.]

[It occurs to Maya that they probably look like total dorks right now, but she doesn't care because hey. Whatever, man. Everyone can just deal. She loves Cam and she loves harmonizing with him almost as much as she loves performing with WhisperHug.]

I'm out of touch, I'm out of love.
I'll pick you up when you're getting down.,
and out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now.
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind.
I'll do it all for you in time,
and out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now.

I think I love you better now.

[As the song slowly ends, Cam's grinning, a complete 180 from the last few days. So yeah, there'll still on stage, and yeah, there's probably people watching, but you know, it was a romantic duet, so it's probably expected that he would, before the last chords are even played, lean forward and kiss Maya.

...He's still holding the microphone, so he can't exactly hold her, but um. You know, it's something.]
